EPA Blows It - Again

When ozone is released close to Earth’s surface through human activity, it's dangerous and can cause all kinds of nasty sh*t like asthma and lung damage. The Clean Air Act requires the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to control pollution from ozone. Yet the EPA has announced a draft ozone pollution standard that falls short of what the agency’s own scientists and science advisors consider safe.

The EPA is currently accepting comments about its half-assed proposal.

Urge them to use the best available science to set a stronger final ozone standard that protects our health.
